I buy my own, or my fiancée buys it for me.
I just see these very young girls and am curious as to who buys them all of this stuff?
I know when I had jobs as a teenager is wasn't out spending hundreds on makeup.

I wasn't allowed to wear makeup until I could buy it myself and even then I couldn't go crazy with it. I think it's crazy when I see 13 year olds wearing a full face of makeup.

My aunt used to spend a lot of money on makeup for me and still gets me something from the Dior counter for my birthday. But now I buy my own and my dad helps me buy my skincare stuff. When I was younger I wore more makeup than a teenager should but I didn't really use anything on my face, just eyeshadow and liner (too much liner....what a phase). My mom would buy me stuff from the drugstore too. Looking back, my parents weren't thrilled but they let me do my own thing.

I do unless it's my birthday or it's Christmas... or if I beg a little, LOL!
The thing with young girls on YouTube getting a bunch of makeup is, well, most of these girls are partnered and really big on YouTube, so their checks give them a good amount of money, probably better than an actual minimum wage job.
Some girls (that aren't on YT, I'm making this post two different categories here) are just spoiled (and that can be good or bad, depending on how the girl (or boy ;D) takes it... either you're grateful for it, or you whine because you don't have more, haha. Honestly, if the parent doesn't mind, then I'm whatever about it.
Like some other girls on here have said, babysitting works and is probably the number one young girl job and can pay quite a bit if they save, plus allowance.

I started wearing make up at 14 and my mom bought some of it for me but I babysat lots like 2 times a week for a few hours so I always had money to buy my own. I never started wearing a complete full face until about 16 though.

When I was younger, my parents would buy my makeup for me. But I used a total of like, three products. Eyeliner, eyeshadow, and mascara. (all black mind you xD) and it was just drugstore makeup.
Once I started to really get into makeup, I was about 17, so I began buying it myself. I'm 20 now, and the majority of my collection I have purchased myself. Christmas and my birthday are the only real times other people buy makeup for me.

Ya my mom would buy mine when I was in highschool occasionally. But I usually used my allowance or lucked out when mom bought expensive stuff and didn't like it so she would give it to me. She actually still does that to this day :)
